Details are thin, but Namco Bandai has posted a tease-reveal for a brand new "One Piece" game headed to the DS.

A new software modification seems to be spreading virally throughout "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" online play for the Xbox 360, and the Internet buzz about it resembles the type of thing you'd hear around a high school with an STD outbreak.
